The schools put on a show of wanting "parental involvement," putting out questionnaires asking for parents to join panels reviewing "family life" (i.e., sex-ed) curriculum, and other "parent-advisory" boards. But none of us who'd signed up ever got a response!
After seeing up-close-and personal the idiotic new teachers, fresh out of brain-washing "teachers' colleges;" the dumbing down of the curriculum and the leftist propaganda that is being substituted for true academic subjects, we wised up.
We now homeschool our youngest, and have our remaining high school student in an alternative academy.
gumbo's complaint " But none of us who'd signed up ever got a response! " is oh too common. Teachers must pass around their blacklists. Parents have to morph into puppets of the liberal agenda to get invited to volunteer their time at the school for anything, and in order to avoid reparations against their kids.
